411980 tn?1267555591 m a bit nervous to be awake, but thrilled that my pain will be managed right after surgery. I know the pain will come as it wears off, but they can keep the epidural in for 24 hours, so that should help also. Roshelle, I will post again after my surgery to let you know how I did. Please everyone, keep me in your thoughts (and prayers). thanks.
Avatar f tn I have had three procedures, two where I got sedation and one where I got general anesthesia. Waking up from sedation the first time I felt tired and groggy but no nausea. The second time I got sedation I got a different type and I woke up groggy and hallucinating. I was nauseous, however part of the procedure was waking up with a tube down my throat into my small intestines to make some measurements so I don't know whether I would have been nauseous without the tube.
Avatar n tn I'm having total knee replacement surgery soon. I can't have a nerve block due to my spine. I'll have general Anesthesia, but was told the pain will be increased since I can't have the block. I'm concerned about managing pain afterward since I have Barrett's. Has anyone had knee or hip surgery and have Barrett's? What type of pain medication did you have?
Avatar f tn so when he seen that I was in pain he stopped and left. He re-scheduled and I went under for that one. the pain you were feeling was just that GAS. After my procedure the pain was bad, the man that was taking care of me after in recovery told me to lie on my left side and let them rip!!! As soon as I relieved all the gas, pain went away. The pain is GAS. The nausea could be from them working on you, do not forget your intestines do attach to your stomach. He also found 4 more polyps, all good.
Avatar n tn Many of us with EDS not only have issues with anesthesia but with pain meds as well....so I do understand and I also had issues with being intubated....I spoke with my anesthesiologist and he was great and said he would use the smallest tubes possible and I did not have the same issues as I had during a different surgery....so, it is possible to speak with them and let them know what is going on with you, and it is in their best interest to know about these issues ahead of time.
Avatar f tn When used during childbirth, opiates are considered the first option after less invasive or natural methods of pain relief such as laboring in water, deep breathing, and massage. Opiates are given in small doses and usually administered during the early stages of labor in an attempt to avoid potential side effects for both the mother and baby. Local anesthesia may be used by your health care provider during delivery to numb a painful area in or around the vagina if stitches are needed.
Avatar f tn Dear Madge - as having a wire inserted prior to the lumpectomy is something I am scheduled to have, I hope they give you a local. With a local, the core biopsy did not hurt at all. I'm not sure if I have a titanium chip now or not. That makes me wonder about having a MRI in the future, since they ask questions like, "do you have any metal shrapnel in your body." Titanium is metal, so.... The whole wire thing seems kind of like a crude form of marker!
Avatar n tn General anesthesia would only be used in a patient that is combative (eg mental illness, Alzheimer's disease, infant or child. Local anesthesia is much less dangerous, less expensive, and its very hard to justify doing anyone under general. Also many surgicenters just cannot do general because they have a RN do the anesthesia not a MD anesthesiologist.
Avatar n tn There's a good solution for you: light IV sedation and local anesthesia. You'll experience no pain, and you won't remember the procedure. Much better (IMO) than general anesthesia, which sometimes has some unpleasant side effects.
Avatar m tn t have much stomach pain now but my stomach Is bloated and I have a lot of gas... more then the first day, I bought some gas-x they seem to help a little bit,, I'm just guessing It would have been better to be totally asleep that way I wouldn't remember anything... but anyway's thank God It's over... just want to get back to normal. God bless you all.
Avatar f tn Had sinus sugery 4 days ago (fixed deviated septum, right turbinate reduction, sinus drainage hole enlarged). Gum pain is a lot worse than the sinus surgery pain in nose/sinuses. General anesthesia caused 3 ulcers, the one on gum-line hasn't healed, very painful, seemed to be the trigger. (Some numbing, tingling under top teeth from surgery but can deal with that.
Avatar f tn Has anyone out there ever had to receive more then general and/or local anesthesia? I read that sometimes, so the patient does not cough or move during surgery, there will be a tube put down their thoat to be put on a breathing machine. This scares me - if anyone has had this done or know why its necessary or the pros & cons, please reply.
Avatar m tn My sister-in-law had a similar situation. It was done in general anesthesia. Baby is perfectly ok after the op. She had some discomfort and vomiting though. She is now due in 2 weeks time. If you are concern about the necessasity of the op, you can go for a second opinion. Not all doctors are surgery-happy. Personally I would not want one for myself.
Avatar f tn There are ALWAYS risks with any kind of anesthesia...and general anesthesia has a higher risk of complications than an epidural. I understand your concern. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my third child (but my 2nd child was born 19 years ago!). Both of my children were born vaginally without an epidural and I plan to not have an epidural with this one...
Avatar m tn Some months ago I had an anesthesia for a gastroscopy. There were usde the following neuroleptics: propofol, midazolam and fentanyl. I slept for about 2 hours and as soon as I woke up I was abnormally acting like a drunk. That being ended up in a couple of hours but unfortunately some symptoms and problems remained.
Avatar f tn Hello. One week ago, I had two small cavities filled in my lower jaw on the right-hand side. I felt no pain during the procedure, and that night I felt only the pain that's typical after this kind of procedure. I had the procedure done Tuesday afternoon, and then Thursday afternoon I began to feel a pain that spread out over the area where the anesthesia was. My upper and lower jaw, the area around my ear, that all hurt.
822279 tn?1239567972 I have been under general anesthesia three times since having POTS. In my experience, it hasn't been any different than being under anesthesia before I had POTS except perhaps more fatigue (but it's impossible to separate the effect of the anesthesia, the reaction of the body to the surgery I had itself, and the side effects of the pain killers I took immediately after surgery).
Avatar n tn I too had severe pain. It was horrible!!! I almost passed out! They had to put cold towels on me and give me something cold to drink. It was worse than labor. The newest Novasure is not supposed to hurt like that. I guess everyone is different. The girl before me walked out like nothing ever happened.
Avatar f tn ve never had a spinal before, have had general anesthesia several times. I was told I would be kept asleep. I would not want to be awake during the surgery. Thanks!
Avatar f tn The orthopedic surgeon mentioned that the most likely anesthesia would be an epidural rather than a general anesthesia. There is little information on epidurals online. Is it given directly into the spine, like the spinal they sometimes give during labor? Someone told me that, for knee surgeries, the epidural is actually given below the spinal cord and there is no risk of injury to the spinal cord.
Avatar n tn I had a baby via c-section under general anesthesia 9 months ago. When leaving the hospital I would get this awful pain in my right upper quadrant, it felt like someone was squeezing my insides. No, 9 months later I get it off and on if I lay on my right side for too long at night, I also occasionally get it laying on my left side.

Avatar n tn I am 28 years old and have had PVC's and PAC's for about 11 years. I take inderal and flecainide every day to help control them. Certain things I notice can trigger them, and one of those is if I go long periods of time without eating. If my stomach is too empty, I will have them some times. I also have them when I take most sedatives, pain pills, cold medicines that sedate, etc. I am suppose to have my gall bladder removed soon and I am kind of freaking out.
